The Cost of Turnover
Every driver who quits costs you thousands
Turnover in trucking runs brutally high. Once you add job-board spend, recruiter hours, orientation, training, and the revenue lost while a seat sits empty, replacing one CDL driver adds up fast. Move the sliders to see what it costs your fleet.
What's turnover costing your fleet?
That's about 375 drivers replaced every year.

The Retention Problem
You already paid to recruit them. Turnover makes you pay again.
In trucking, high turnover isn't a surprise — it's the default. Every driver who walks takes recruiting spend, orientation hours, and seated-truck revenue with them. Most carriers only learn why after the driver is already gone.
Time is not your friend when a driver is thinking about leaving.
The earlier you know there is a problem, the more opportunity you have to solve it. PDA helps carriers identify retention risk while there's still time to intervene.
People Focused. Data Driven.
What that actually means
People focused
A real human checks in with your drivers, listens without an agenda, and treats each one as an individual with changing needs — not a survey response.
Data driven
Everything drivers tell us becomes clear, reportable insight — so your leadership can see the "why" behind the numbers and act on it before a driver quits.

A Partner, Not a Portal
Retention isn't a survey. It's a relationship.
Plenty of vendors will send your drivers a questionnaire and hand you a dashboard. That's not what moves retention. Drivers stay when someone notices them, remembers them, and follows up. PDA becomes that someone.
